The 2er coupe and convertible should will be RWD, right?

BMW's driving dynamics have gone down their list of priorities over the past decade, however BMW has still been nailing everything else in their products. Overall their vehicles are amongst the best on the market. They could have done much better on this car, I know they are capable.
Disagree.

BMW has left the 1990s behind and has entered a competitive market segment (A Class, A3) were they previously had no competitor. If MB manufactures FWD cars (Which they have done for 20 years) it is fine for BMW to follow suit.

The mere existence of these vehicles do not take away from
Your precious AWD/RWD Bimmers.
Tell that to fans of the 1 series
The old 1 series? The small and ugly little frumpy RWD coupe sold here from 2008 to 2013?

That car had a horrendous front end. We never got any updated 1 series after that E89.
